Pat Durand says of his photo, "The Wasilla Section Crew
worked out of these buildings adjacent to the Alaska Railroad mainline about
450 feet south of the Wasilla Depot. The photo was taken from the shoulder
of the Parks Highway in downtown Wasilla in 1998. All the buildings were gone
by the spring of 2004 and a line relocation will likely see 143# rail laid
right over this spot. All the structures were neatly maintained in the same
colors the Alaska Railroad has used since 1946."
